To score well on this hole, the best strategy would be to aim for the center of the fairway and avoid the water on the left side. The shorter distance from the Women's teebox may provide an advantage for lower handicapped players. Wind conditions should also be taken into account as it could impact ball flight and potentially make it more challenging to hit onto a smaller green with only 2% bunker coverage.

Club Recommendations

Low Handicapper (Pro Teebox):

For low handicappers, this hole presents an opportunity for a birdie or even eagle with its shorter distance and relatively open fairway. However, the hard dogleg left requires precise shot placement to avoid the water on the left side. Aiming for the center of the fairway will give you a better angle for your approach shot onto a smaller green with only 2% bunker coverage. Keep in mind any potential wind conditions that could impact ball flight.

Mid Handicapper (Men's Teebox):

With slightly less distance from the Men's teebox, mid handicappers can still aim for the center of the fairway and potentially have a birdie opportunity if their drive is long enough. However, be cautious of going too far right as it could bring more bunkers into play. With 4 bunkers scattered throughout this hole, it's important to take note of their locations before making your shots.

High Handicapper (Seniors' Teebox):

For high handicappers using the Seniors' teebox, this hole may present some challenges due to its length and curvature. Aim for accuracy over distance off the tee and try to avoid hitting into any greenside bunkers which could add strokes to your score quickly.

Beginner Golfer/Women (Women's Teebox):

The Women's teebox offers beginner golfers or women players a shorter distance but still requires precision off the tee due to its hard dogleg left shape. The small green size also means taking extra care when approaching so as not to end up in one of four bunkers surrounding it.

Weather Considerations:

Orlando typically has hot summers and mild winters with occasional rain showers throughout all seasons. In warmer weather conditions, altitude should not significantly affect ball flight but keep an eye out for strong winds which can make club selection tricky on this hole.
